Just thought I would give a quick update Peggy (formally known as Tiny Tim) is doing really well, she is still limping but she can now put some weight on her leg and she has started laying!!

I'm sorry for appearing to be heartless, but I think I'm actually being very positive. I want as many people to keep chickens as possible and I don't want new comers being put off this very rewarding hobby by starting with an extremley negative experience.
I'm afraid, that I've never been a fluffy bunny.

i agree with what you are saying bodger , i know i am still very new at keeping chickens but i'm also glad that i went via a rescue centre to get my girls at least i know they were checked over first by experienced ppl ,. if i had a negative experience by getting ill or dodgy birds the first time then i think it would of put me of , but i must say i take my hat of to other ppl that are doing this an just getting birds from anywhere they can at the end of the day they all desevre a good home .

hope your girly is better soon i have a sick girl a its scary

Cut your losses now before they become any greater. You owe it to youself to start your poultry experience by keeping healthy chickens from the outset.

 i stand with bodger here ,there are to many folks who are starting out keeping birds and getting ripped off afore they  know the joys of having them .even myself i have had  breeders and poultry specialists try to sell me .and even succeed in giving me  " dodo " infected birds  , i have even heard of some  chicken keepers getting in battery birds feeding them on intensive feed for a few weeks and then selling them on for stupid prices .so take notice of what bodgers post says ..... buyer beware

aww bodgy boo, you are a fluffy buny really  

[babe]

but 'on topic'

sooo agree with bodgy and munty.

getting rscued chooks is rewarding and wonderful thing to do.

but if you've not kept poultry before i'd always suggest going for a few healthy birds first.

you will learn so much from them, and more importantly learn what is normal, so that at a later date you'll spot whats not normal.
